talking to people in the pentagon, a lot of them would agree with that. the problem is they are halfway through the year. they have not been preparing for this at all. they will have to squeeze all of these cuts into a six-month period. the next six months, it is implemented, it will have an impact. in 2014, it will probably be more manageable. they will be able to choose where they want to make the cuts. host: our guest is marcus weisgerber of "defense news." the first call is from mark from michigan, a democrat. good morning. caller: hello? i was wondering. the money appropriated for hurricane sandy was over $50 billion. the money to be taken away from this is about the same. they are saying the sequestration is so terrible about job loss. how come it has not affected job gains on the east coast in the same amount in the short time they have to spend that money? guest: i read something this morning saying the sandy money is possibly subject to sequestration. there will be significant job loss with a lot of agencies. they say they're could be up to 2 mil
